First Ever DISUnplugged Podcast Cruise Use Multiquote, It Saves Nine

[halliesmommy01]

From what I've read on the cruise boards, passports take longer in Miami, but about 3 weeks in other processing areas. Depends on where you live. The website doesn't work from what the clerks have been saying.

Thanks Jen I will let her know.

Is anyone doing US when they go down in May?

 

[jeanigor]

That is what has her worried. Neither her or my nephews has shown up on the site. Her DH's did not show up either.

Thanks for your help Todd.

I think there is a number to call. It means calling a government agency...automated answering system and a long wait...could make Disney's ADR system look like a cake walk....but it would give her an answer.

If I somehow came up with an extra day, I would like to. I have had a good time when I went there in the past. I could use the ticket promo from the super bowl so it wouldn't cost me much cash out of pocket.

If you weren't married, that would make we want to propose.

Somehow I think it would take more than me not being married

We are planning on it at least one day since we got the free tickets.

Ok. This isn't the first time I've heard mention of these tickets. How did you get them and are they still available?


Never mind. I googled it and the promo has ended. I was at WDW during the Super Bowl.

 

[tickledtink33]

I'm thinking the only time we'd have is on that first day (May 9th)...a bunch of us will be meeting at DTD/Earl of Sandwich at noon.

That's right, I forgot about that meet. I wasn't going to try and make it to DTD because I was hoping to hit the pool at the BC for a couple of hours and then maybe join everyone for a little of the kitchen sink. Oh well, the balloon may have to wait for a future WDW trip. My mom and I are going to be at the world for an event in late Sept. She might want to go up in the balloon.

George, ask the vet to give you a pill shooter if they have one. It works wonders. You just put it in the cat's mouth, pull the plunger, and the pill goes down their throat. Doesn't hurt them at all and it makes your life a whole lot easier!!

Will it work with vodka??

As you can imagine, the dining is much like a big jigsaw puzzle and you are all the pieces.

Tracy just called me a "piece."

I just hope I'm not too crooked...

It was a promo that they ran during the Super Bowl. I had mentioned something a couple weeks ago because I hadn't received anything in the mail. And low and behold when I got home my free ticket was waiting in the mail box. Maybe I should talk about a million dollars or something like that???

Oh and have you noticed this? This is something we were talking about a few pages ago, but now there is more info...Characters in Flight Blog great info and pics by Kathy, as normal.

ooh it is good! We've gotten that to munch on while we all shower/get ready for the shows and then dinner (we've always had 2nd dining). A lot of times we'd get the kids dinner (my DD loved the chicken noodle soup) so they could make it through the show, come to the dining room for a mickey bar and then one of us would take them to the kids club and then we could have a nice dinner, just the 2 of us.

I just want to thank you for that tip. We are bringing our children and have late seating dining. This sounds like a good plan.

Arg! I'm really worried then. I won't be able to apply for my passport until Friday (it took a while to locate my birth certificate) is it even worth trying to get now??? How much does it cost to speed it up?

$60 to expedite the service. The clerk told me 3-4 weeks. We still have 6+ before most of us leave.

have fun at the gym Brandie!

i just finished my sandwich and when i am done listening to the podcast, i am heading out to the gym at lunch. that cruise will be here before we know it. i've lost a few pounds taking a cleanse/vitamin product we sell at work- rejuvacleanse, it does have some appetite suppressant that helps at least! i am sure the minute I drink some water, i'll gain the few pounds back.

darn, missed out on the free universal tickets. Not planning to go this trip, but we might go over there for a day during our Dec trip, especially if Harry Potter has a preview or is open then.

yum- you guys are making me crave Earle of Sandwich. OT, but funny- I had to ask DH his dad's middle name as a security question to use his ebay account. he doesn't speak to his dad, so i am not close to him obviously and didn't know his middle name. anyhow- he said his middle name is Earl and i said that was terrible (no offense to any Earls!) and my non-disney DH said "well you sure do love that Earle of Sandwich though, so can't be too bad!" I was surprised he even remembered the name of the place, maybe there is some disney hope for him yet?

Passport question!!

How long is it taking to get passports. My sister has been waiting 4 weeks and I know that is normal. She is worried because her DH's only took 2 weeks.

Thanks,
Becky

She might want to call the office where she applied for the passports and ask what the current turn around time is. It can fluctuate a bit based on how many applications the local passport processing center is receiving. With spring and summer travel coming they could be busier than usual. If she hasn't received it within 6 weeks of applying she might want to give the national passport information center a call. Their phone number should be on the information sheet given to her by the postal service or from wherever she applied. Be aware that you have to PAY to speak with someone at this office. Yes, it's true unless they have made a recent change to this since I helped with passports at the post office. I would give them a little more time before calling.

Hi Shelly. Thanks. We've not had luck using one of those in the past

We've always used Pill Pockets. They are amazing! Little soft chews with a hole in the middle. Just put the pill in the hole, smush it closed and they gobble it down so fast they don't notice the pill inside. Comes in a couple flavors and sizes.

Thanks Jen. I will have to try those but my guess is these work better with dogs.

There's a teensy chance that you might get me into that balloon...Depends on how it looks once i'm actually there to see it...DH would love it though!

You mean if it has a bar in it right?

 

[Madi100]

someone asked this about the dolphin and the answer was no. I'd guess the beach club would be the same.

I called the Beach Club, and asked if they woudl hold our luggage. They are going to do it. We are staying at the Boardwalk following the cruise, and I want our luggage moved. Not a problem they said.

Mine took two weeks or less but that was two months ago Becky. I've seen a number of posts lately that passports are now taking 4 weeks. I can only imagine 4 weeks is going to stretch out heading into better weather.

If folks need to still get passports for the podcast cruise I hope they have the paperwork mailed already.

 

[Madi100]

I had bunko this morning. I got home from PTO last night at 9. Worked until 11 on food. Then got up at 6 to finish food. Wayyyy too much time on prep. I had hosting. It doesn't ever run smoothly for me. My food was yummy, though I made everything but the breakfast casserole fat free. I actually found some great recipes that are fat free, the best being the crab dip.

 

[halliesmommy01]

Thanks for all the help. I did see on the TSA site the the place to check the status online is undergoing an update so the information may not show and in that case to call the number.

I just got an email for a video of Barbie Turns 50. She's called cougar Barbie. It's pretty funny. Go to youtube and search for Barbie Turns 50!. Silverbees is the one that posted it. If you can't find it, let me know and I'll send you a PM. I don't think it's the best to post.
